Pizza Snacks

In a large bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy and activated.

Add flour, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil to the yeast mixture, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl.

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free location until it has doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small, equal-sized portions, then shape each portion into a bite-sized round or square. Place the pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.

Spread a small amount of pizza sauce or tomato paste onto the top of each dough piece, then generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese over each one.

Bake the pizza snacks in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden and the dough bases are cooked through.

Remove the pizza snacks from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or a pinch of dried oregano if desired.
